About us
Our vision is to use science to support a healthier, longer life for all.
Our mission and strategy
Mission
Our mission is to improve health through cross-disciplinary research to understand shared mechanisms of disease and to accelerate the transition from scientific discovery to clinical care.
Strategy
We will maximise our research impact by:
- building on cross-disciplinary opportunities
- attracting funding to develop our state-of the-art facilities
- ensuring an environment that supports our exceptional people.
Our research and its impact
Our research
We focus on two broad areas: Cardiovascular & Metabolic Medicine, and Molecular Medicine. These are linked by cross-cutting research themes to facilitate collaborative working.
Our impact
Since 2010, 18 spinout companies have been founded or co-founded by members of RDM. This ultimately turns discoveries into patient benefit.
Our ethos
We foster an inclusive culture and work to ensure that RDM is a happy and rewarding environment where all staff and students are supported to achieve their full potential.
